It’s finally Friday... but you still have emails to deal with, a mountain of paper on your desk, sales targets, phone calls to make and and and and! .
.
You might reward yourself at lunchtime with a sandwich. .
.
Returning to your desk - if you didn’t eat there - you try to race through whatever’s left on your ‘to do’ list in the afternoon; feel progressively pushed for time. .
.
At the end of the day, grabbing your coat, you hurtle out the door and get caught up in a pack of grim-faced commuters all trying to do the same as you. Get home. Get to the gym. Get to the bar for a drink. Get to the theatre. Get to the supermarket. Get to the nanny to pick up the kids. .
.
You crawl into bed and wonder where the day went. When in the day did you manage to breathe? When in the day did you close your eyes and be still? Where was your soul in all of this stressful Friday business anyway? .
.
Sloooow it all down. Today could be so much more and better. .
.
Be more narrowboat. Narrowboats only travel at walking speed. Anyone who has anything to do with them knows they therapeutically force you to slow down. .
.
When you slow down in life, you can enjoy the journey. You notice details other people miss. You keep your soul with you. You get things done. Actually, you probably get everything on your ‘to do’ list done and more, because you’re less stressed out or exhausted. If you live through your soul, your soul will help you do your work and keep you energised. .
.
Here’s my Friday challenge for you: Slow down and don’t forget to breathe. Keep the ‘to do’ list sensible and gently ease into the weekend. The chances are you might even have more life in you on Saturday to do whatever sets your heart, mind and soul soaring. And that, instas, is true soul magic. .
.
Have a soulful and stress-free Friday! .
